Hi,
I am trying to emerge -ave system of a armv7a-softfp-linux-gnueabi stage 3 through qemu (host 2600k). The operation got stuck after 50 or so packages when checking for msgmerge, with no other messages. I can give more details in a subsequent message, because I resume the emerge to see what other packages are affected.
I googled for it, but I can't say I found something concrete.
Could somebody please point me to a solution?
Thank you in advance.

re-emerge gettext with USE=-openmp (and set it in package.use) and try again. It worked for me_________________several years playing with (Open)SuSE and since 2009 switched to Gentoo for PC (AMD Phemon X4), Laptop (Asus A55VD) and EasyPC( ARM, VT8500)
